I've been thinking about this for some months, and now it's
finally time to say goodbye. I dived into editing here headlong and
eager, but I have since become disenchanted, and editing the wiki
has for too long felt like hard work rather than a fun hobby.

My interest in Uncharted has dropped too, and I rarely get a
chance to play the games anymore. This does not mean I like the
series any less than I did before. They still rank among my
favourite games, and I will certainly continue to play them for
many years to come.

Before I go I'd like to thank everyone that I've edited with
here in the past. I'm not going to name names because I'll almost
certainly forget someone important. I arrived here in early 2009,
when this site had about 30 pages…

This is just a quick survey to find out what editing tool is
used by editors here. There are two available, the visual editor
and the source editor.

This is a simplified editor for users who are new to MediaWiki.
It's easy to use, but takes a major toll on articles in the form of
badly-formed links, random and unnecessary tags, and other things
that should be avoided. It's a good tool, but it can be (and too
often is) very sloppy.

This is the main editor used on MediaWiki sites. It's almost as
simple to use as the Visual Editor, with none of the mess. It also
makes editing much quicker. It provides full control over what
appears on the page, such as tags, templates, and images.

For about a year now, we've had no dedicated news outlet for the
wiki, which is unfortunate because things have changed a lot since
then. With that in mind, I'm writing this blog post to discuss the
wiki's recent past, what's currently going on, and the near
future.

For the last month or so, I've been aggressively pushing an
image policy on everyone who uploads here, probably without a clear
explanation. There are many reasons why this policy is now in
place, and hopefully it will be easier to appreciate it after they
are explained.

Reason 1: Finding images. This is quite probably what
will affect you the most, searching for and finding images. The
policy states that all images must be appropriately named and
categorised. This is …

At the time of writing, there are 1,460 pages on this wiki.
There are also 5,716 images. That's a surplus of over three
thousand images. Over the coming months, several images will be
deleted from this site, and a policy will be implemented to
restrict what images are uploaded. This will happen in three
phases:

Phase 1:

Any unnecessary images will be deleted from the site. These
include unused images, low quality screenshots that have since been
replaced with better ones, duplicated images, or images that are no
longer needed (ie. better images of the subject have been
uploaded). Images with non-descriptive names (like this:
File:D967a157a3d7bc9e3258d377dcf13a1c-1-.jpg) will also be
deleted.
